"I wanna see him," Aurora said to her mother the moment her father and his men had left.
"I don't think that's a good idea," her mother said.
"I wanna see him!" Aurora yelled.
"Alright, alright, he's down in the chapel," her mother said.

Aurora pushed pass her mother and hurried to the chapel.

"Oh Santino," she said as she saw her brother's corpse.

She took his cold hand and kissed it.

"How did this ever happen to us? Who decided to let us be born into a violent family?" She asked out in the air.

She felt a hand on her back and she turned her head to see Corey.

"It's not fair, Corey," she cried.

He put his arm around her.

"I know, princess," he said and kissed the top of her head.

She turned her head and looked behind her.

"Your mother stayed behind," he said as if he could read her thoughts.
"Good," she said.

For a while they sat in silence so she could say her goodbye to her brother. Her tears ran silently down her face. He just kept his arm around her, trying his best to comfort her.

"Is this the faith that awaits our children?" She suddenly asked.
"I don't know. I don't hope so but maybe," he answered truthfully.
"I don't want that," she said.
"You don't want children?" He asked.
"No, not that. I don't want this... this life for them," she answered.
"What are you saying?" He asked.
"I don't know. All I know is that I don't wanna bring children into a world full of violence and have them ripped away from me like this," she said and touched her brother's cheek. "He was so young. It's not fair."

He didn't say anything. He was thinking about what she had just said. Finally he opened his mouth again.

"I need to understand what it is you want," he said.
"We need to make a choice right here and now. There's a good chance my father isn't coming back and that we have to take over from tomorrow. If we take over and run this show, this family dies with me as the last one," she said.
"You're leaving me?" He asked.
"No, no, nothing like that. I love you and I can't imagine not having you in my life. What I mean is that we will not start a family on our own. I refuse to put children into this world. I grew up in it. I don't want that faith for anyone else," she answered.

He sighed.

"That's a shame. I always imagined us having a big family when I think of our future," he said.
"You don't have to stay with me, you know. I won't hold you back. If you want a family, you should go find someone who can give it to you. Someone far away from this violent life," she said.
"But I don't want anybody else," he said.

She leaned down and kissed her brother's forehead before standing up and facing Corey.

"Would you come with me?" She asked.
"Where to?" He asked.
"Anywhere you want. Somewhere far away from here. Somewhere where we can live our own lives and start a family without having violence around us all the time," she answered.
"You wanna run away and leave all of this behind?" He asked.
"Yes," she answered and bit her lip, afraid of what he might say.
"Princess, you know I'd follow you to the end of the world but so will your father," he said.
"I don't care. I don't want to live like this any longer," she said as her tears started flowing again.

The door to the chapel suddenly flew open and one of her father's men came running in.

"Aurora, where's your mother?" He asked.
"I don't know. What's wrong?" She asked.
"Your father," he said.
"What about him?" She asked.
"He didn't make it," he answered before running out of the chapel again to look for her mother.

Aurora turned to look at Corey.

"It's now or never. In all this uproar they won't notice until it's too late," she said.

He took her hand.

"Let's do it," he said.
"Yeah?" She asked and smiled.
"Yes. I know a guy who can get us to Greece and from there we are on our own," he said.
"Let's go see that guy," she said.

They hurried out of the chapel. More men were returning, everyone was shouting, it was chaos. They pushed through the people and out of the back gate. No one noticed them disappear.

That night they sat on a boat looking out on the dark water while leaving their home.

"Any regrets?" He asked.
"Only that I couldn't say goodbye to my mother but somehow I think she always knew I wouldn't stay," she answered.

He put his arms around her.

"I love you, princess," he said.
